Student Health Insurance

Student Health Insurance

Each student attending our traditional program at University Campus full time (12 or more credit hours) is required to carry health insurance. This policy applies to commuter students that are registered full time, as well. as graduate students that are registered full time and living on campus.

Automatic Enrollment

To assist students in following this policy, the university automatically enrolls students in the university-endorsed health insurance plan and bills their student accounts. Coverage is through UnitedHealthcare. The premium for the insurance policy for students who are enrolled in the 2021 Fall term is $1,757.00. The coverage period extends from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2022. Students enrolling for the spring semester only will be charged a prorated amount. The coverage period for these students is from January 1, 2022 – July 31, 2022.

Benefits of the 2021-2022 university-endorsed policy will be available soon.

Students with their own insurance through a group or individual plan may waive the coverage and avoid the fee. To waive the insurance, students should complete the online waiver process. Insurance waivers can only be submitted online. Insurance waivers for students enrolling in Spring 2021 must be completed by February 19, 2021. Click here to access the insurance waiver.
